Obviously anything that succeeds in a capitalist economy succeeded because of capitalism, and anything that succeeds in a not-fully-capitalist economy does so in spite of the corrupting influence of socialism.

Remember, capitalism can’t fail; it can only be failed!

Answer my original question first and you have your proof or not. If you can’t answer, there’s your proof.

Yeah, information was freely traded before the advent of capitalism, and you’re still free to walk over to your neighbor’s house and ask questions about your code, but they’re not going to be near the quality of a large scale service like SO.

Where do you expect the resources to come from to have and serve content reliably? They don’t run on hatred of capitalism, they run on money.

A website costs money to register, develop, operate, and maintain.

That’s true, but does your answer on SO pay the bills for running and serving the content?

That legitimately reads like it was written by a teenager who played a bunch of strategy games.

So much of it is “this is how it will be” in a prescriptive tone as if you can just will things into existence.

You could describe perfect capitalism in this exact manner, but obviously things don’t work in real life according to your perfect scenario.

I have a quiz for you; Name a single successive communist country.
